Freestyle Canoeing: Contemporary Paddling Technique

Rating:
Summary: From beginner to expert
Review: Having recently purchased a solo canoe, I was looking for the right book to help me make a Hollywood style morning on the lake. This book beautifully demonstrates the art of freestyle paddling, including tips for precision and efficiency, for the beginner to the expert. Learn moves like the Axle, Post, Wedge, and Christie and you'll be well on your way to perfecting the art of freestyle paddling.

Summary: Almost worthless
Review: I am a person who normally can learn from a book. I did not find this one too helpful. I talked more about boats and gear than the actual moves. It is hard to tell how to do the moves from the book. A complex move might be shown in three static pictures. I just took a course with Karen Knight and this is the way to go! I cannot say enough good words about Karen. She did not have kind words for the book and recommends the book by Mark Molina and Becky Molina which is out of print presently, but might be found used or writing [e-mail].
